2 Ups & 4 Downs From This Week's Impact Wrestling (Jul 19)

3. Step In The Wrong Direction

At Slammiversary, Taya Valkyrie finally looked like a Knockouts Champion to be proud of. While she did technically steal the pinfall, she came away from the match without looking like a cowardly champion, something that had been the case in the weeks prior.

Sadly, she now once again looks like a weak title holder.

Taya was involved in a three way this week alongside Havok and Madison Rayne, and it was an alright match, to be fair to the three ladies involved. John E. Bravo, on the other hand, got involved far too often, distracting the referee so that Taya could use illegal manoeuvres (does it really matter in a three way match?). Then towards the end of the contest, Bravo yanked her out of the ring as Havok attempted to attack her, opening up the path for the behemoth to drive 'The Queen Bee' into the mat for the three count.

Two things here: a) why is Bravo still helping Taya? and b) why did he haul Taya out? It wasn't a championship match. Jessicka Havok appears to be next in line either way, so taking 'Wera Loca' out of the ring is just making the situation worse.
